Hi, I haven't been working on this, just an interested bystander. I noticed you wrote "Looks like I have a lot to filter through and translate to English. Please, would like to continue to receive any added Olson information especially pre-immigration." Not sure if it's clear that the researchers are investigating whether there are family members surrounding Ele in the USA. If possible siblings can be found for her, then she will be more identifiable in Norway. "Faddernes" means "Baptismal Sponsors." Sponsors can be friends, but more often they are family.

Thus Mathia Olsen could be a sister to Ele. So too Oline Olsen could be a sister. If so, it's possible jkmarler may have found Ele's parents. If it's the same Oline marrying Peter Andersen, and if that Oline is a sister to Ele, Oline's marriage record contains an important clue. It lists Oline's parents as
Ole Olsen and Anne Olsdr.

Following the faddernes has lead me to a very likely possible Ellen. I tried to find Olina Olsen but I had no luck in the 1880 census. Then I went to searching for her married name and no luck there either. Finally scrolled through page by page and found a family in York, Green County, Wisconsin whose last name was "Newhouse". The old man was Ole Newhouse, the mother was Anne Newhouse and the daughter was Oline Newhouse. No Norwegian will have that English name in Norway but there are many farms named Nyhus which means new house in Norwegian. So then I looked for families in the 1865 census on a Nyhus farm, headed by an Ole and Anne and with daughters named Oline, Mathea and El---something and found the most likely folks:

Eli Olsdatter on Nyhus in Stange, Hedmark Norway in 1865:

Here is candidate Eli Olsdatter's baptism:

In the 1900 census for Ellen Murner her birth month and year are listed as August 1856.

Unfortunately, some of the links may not be working at the moment because of the site work now on at Digitalarkivet.

It's a great find! Some of the links won't open at the moment, but some will. I'll put the transcriptions here just to aid in making the comparisons between Norway and Wisconsin.

Eli's brother Andreas b. 15 Dec 1851 in Stange is an exact match to Andreas Nyhus b 15 Dec. 1851 d 1938 and buried in York, Green, Wisconsin at same cemetery as Ole O Nyhus and wife Anne (York Memorial Lutheran Cemetery). There is no doubt the Stange family is in York.

from jkmarler, Birth of Eli Olsdatter, look for #51
Eli born 25 August 1856 [ slightly off from the American record ]
baptized 26 December
Legitimate birth (to married parents)
Parents: Ole Olsen and Anne Olsdatter
Place name ??t I can't read
Baptismal sponsors are named in the column to the right
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070513140470.jpg


From the tombstone of Ele Olsen Murner:
Born 27 Aug. 1857

1865 Norway Census
at Nyhus in Ottestad, Stange, Hedmark, Norway
******Ole is born in Løiten Prgj., the rest are all born in Stange
Ole Olsen age 51 husfader (male head of household), g (=gift = married) occupation Husmand med Jord (a type of farmer) -- born about 1814
Anne Olsdatter age 46, his wife -- born about 1819
Oline Olsdatter 19
Andreas Olsen 15
Andrea Olsdatter 13
Eli Olsdatter 10
Bernt Olsen 6
Ole Larsen 75, Logerende, Konens Fader (wife's father) e (= enke = widower)
Anne Andersdatter 24, Logerende

Nyhus = Newhouse in English

1880 US Census
York, Green, Wisconsin
Ole Newhouse 64 born about 1816 in Norway, farmer
Anna Newhouse 60 born about 1820 in Norway
next to Olina Newhouse 30 born about 1850 Norway

Anne Nyhus's date of birth on "Find a Grave" = 20 Oct. 1820
She should be born in Stange to Ole Larsen. Can't open Digital Archives at the moment.

Oline Olsdatter age 30 married Peder Andersen later in June 1880. To a Norwegian immigrant the switch from Olsdatter to Olsen to Nyhus would seem normal.

Odd about Bernt. Obviously jkmarler found dob for Bernt as 21 December 1859 and found him emigrating with his mother to America in 1870. Below is a GENI family tree created by M H Nyhus with Bernt Olsen b 21 December 1860 (with the familiar "off by one year" phenomenon), died 21 Jan 1932 in Stange, Hedmark:
http://www.geni.com/people/Bernt-Olsen/6000000013611131697

Just to put the following on the board, Ole Olsen Nyhus's tombstone (posted on Find-a-Grave) says he was born 28 Oct. 1815 died 18 Feb. 1896, and was buried York, Green, Wisconsin, USA.

No I found his dob as 27 July 1860. There was another Ole / Anne couple having children in Stange at the same time as the Nyhus family. Also the other bd means it's just barely possible --8 months seperation-- that the Bernts could have been born to the same set of parents. However, I just checked again and there is no Bernt b 21 Dec 1859 in Ottestad in Stange. Here is Berent's baptism link:
#54:
Source information: Hedmark county, Ottestad in Stange, Parish register copy nr. 2 (1838-1879), Birth and baptism records 1861, page 73.
Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=9122&idx_id=9122&uid=ny&idx_side=-74

Interestingly, in most of the baptisms they were listed as residents of Nordve eie. I don't know if Nyhus was another name for Nordve eie or not.

Ole's & Anne's marriage #11:
Source information: Hedmark county, Stange, Parish register (official) nr. 10 (1835-1845), Marriage records 1840, page 204.
Permanent pagelink: http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:kb_read?idx_kildeid=8854&idx_id=8854&uid=ny&idx_side=-204

His father's name is given as Ole Olsen. But so far I find no Ole Olsen as father of any Ole in Løten 1815-1816, curiously.

Suspect that this is Ole Olsen Nyhus even though it says he is u (ugifte, unmarried) age 53 coming from Stange:

The Ole Nordvei arriving in Canada certainly could be the right Ole to be Eli's father.

The Bernt said to be born 21.12.1860 here:

He does not belong to Eli's family. Here is his baptism #176, note the parish is Stange in Stange, not Ottestad in Stange..

Funny about those family trees online - they can be such a help but at times they make us run around proving them wrong with research that does not pertain to the family in question! You've done so much work on this Jackie - I'm sure the OP will enjoy! :D

O well, it's an important thing to troubleshoot wrong info so that it doesn't develop a life of it's own and live forever, repeatedly accepted but never examined.
